the most expnsive / hard to get hold of supra mod / repair (please put prices)

Was going through my supra manuals today and had a flash...............what do you guys think is the most expensive / rare (and the cheapest) modification and repair for a supra mkiv? Obviously, this doesnt include crash damage repairs as that could be anything!

Here's what I think.........

Most expensive repair......Engine overhaul

Most expensive mod..........any genuine bodykit or a good turbo

Most rare thing to get hold of.........oem con light / heated windscreen

cheapest repair............servicing

cheapest mod.............trd radiator cover

Full pro respray would be close to the most expensive mod

Most expensive repair - V160/161 gearbox repair/replacement.

Most expensive mod - going single.

Cheapest repair - changing a bulb.

Cheapest mod - restrictor ring.

Bull, EvinX did his for about £50.

Most expensive repair...... Getrag 6spd box rebuild

Most expensive mod.......... HKS 3.4l stroker kit

Most rare thing to get hold of......... intact old boot lid rubbers

cheapest repair............ Anything free, like putting a hose back on! But if you mean replacement part fix, it'd have to be a new radiator cap. Cheap and the most accessible thing under the bonnet.

cheapest mod............. Window sticker

Most expensive repair: New manual gearbox

Most expensive mod: Titan Race Block

Most rare thing to get hold of: Cruise Control

cheapest repair: New valve caps

cheapest mod: Replace sidelights with LED bulbs.

Johnny I've just thrown a full cruise control unit in the bin.

Can you fit cruise control to a car that wasn't fitted with it from factory?

I raise Ian C and his window stickers with a magictree...bought down the market.

You could have sold that for a few pennies (not to me, won't work with my TB)

Na/T conversions could be done for about £1k-£1.5k so that doesnt count

6 speed gearboxes can be had for around £2k (one went on ebay for £1900 a couple of months back)

Knee rests are common compared to the Roof Rack

there is a reason for that! no one ever wants a roof rack on a supra! it was a dumb factory option to have. on the other hand, a roof rack could be handy for having nos bottles

edit: plus.....is it a cheap option or an expensive one?

Most expensive repair...... smoothed and fully painted engine bay

Most expensive mod.......... full retrim and FULL repaint, Going single and having it GOLD PLATED and CHROMED, Syvecs

Most rare thing to get hold of......... Doluck double six wheels, doluck rear tension set ( rare aluminium set), greddy oil cap in chrome, lexan spark plug cover

cheapest repair............service

cheapest mod............. Gold plated dress up kit

Complete suspension overhaul must be up there with the most expensive repair that every Supra will need at some point due to wear and tear. Probably not the most expensive one off repair, but it's something that usually needs doing long before the engine or gearbox gives up the ghost.

lexan clear spark plug cover is rare indeed, as are do luck double sixes. Anothing (another+thing ) I though of is a strut brace for aerotops thats sits on the floor, in middle of the car, behind the seats!

gold plated dress up kit is cheaper than a twin turbo sticker off ebay? i dont think so

Anyone know of any of the rear braces?

Decals for the UK calipers, £10 off Ebay.

OMG. .I wish you started this tread earlier.. lol.. I spun a big-end (on the dyno) and am in process of having my motor rebuild. Will be around £2500 but she’s in good hands. I was lucky to find a member with a crank in a very good condition for £80. It's hurting me a bit considering I only got her (my first supe) in October and had to replace a crank seal.

I’m looking forward to the cheapest repair after this - refilling screen wash with water
